January Update

The project is doing really well. We are starting to meet at Tule ponds every other Saturday. We have started clearing out the area and have made a lot of progress. I see our group finishing this very quickly.
Our group has recently met at Tule ponds and started our service project. We started to clear the 1/6 acre area of invasive species like birch wood and weeds. Then we also cut back and cleared a trail running through the area. After we took out the invasive species, we planted more native species like wild sage and maple trees where the invasive species were. All in all our project is doing very well and we have made tremendous progress. While I was left cutting and removing the invasive species, the girls planted the new native plants.
 One concern is that we have lots to do but I think we can get this done. Another concern is the weather, since it rained on us the other weekend and we had to leave early.
